When Did Ffa Change Its Name
A lot of people don’t realize that the FFA used to be called something else. In fact, the name change happened more than 80 years ago. But what exactly is the Future Farmers of America? And why did it change its name in the first place?
The first FFA jacket was sold in 1933.
The first FFA jacket was sold in 1933 and it looked a little something like this:

The price of the blue and white jacket was $7.50, which was expensive compared to other jackets of the time. It was made by H.L. Haggard Company (now known as Haggar Clothing), who still makes FFA jackets today.[1]
The National FFA Convention currently has more than 60,000 attendees.
As it stands now, the National FFA Convention is the largest gathering of student leaders in the world. It attracts more than 60,000 attendees each year, including students from all 50 states and many other countries. Students at this convention are eligible to receive their state’s highest award in agricultural education. Additionally, they may compete for national honors in such areas as livestock judging or public speaking.
In addition to these events, students also get a chance to learn more about topics related to agriculture through workshops and tours of facilities such as dairy farms. In fact, there is so much going on at each convention that it would be impossible for me—even if I were able to attend every single one—to tell you everything! The best way for you to find out what it was like for me was by reading my previous posts about my experiences at these conferences:
In 1935, the goal of FFA was to encourage agricultural education and leadership.
Female FFA was started in 1928 by a group of students in Kansas City, Missouri. The goal of FFA was to encourage agricultural education and leadership among young people. In 1935, the name was changed to Future Farmers of America (FFA).
At the time, most schools had agriculture classes but no organized club activities.
Most schools had agriculture classes, but these were often taught by someone who wasn’t a farmer. It was hard for students to connect with the material in these courses, and many students dropped out of school when they reached their senior year.

In 1928, the American Royal Livestock Show in Kansas City was the perfect venue to start an organization for students interested in agriculture. The event was hosted by the Kansas State College of Agriculture and Applied Sciences (now known as Kansas State University). From that point forward, it has become one of the largest events of its kind in America and continues today at a new location: Overland Park’s Kemper Arena.
The Future Farmers of America used to be called that.
The Future Farmers of America was founded in 1928 by a group of students who were interested in agriculture. The original name of the organization was the Future Farmers of America, but it changed its name to the National FFA Organization in 1988. The first national convention was held in Kansas City, MO that same year and has taken place every year since then except during World War II (1942-1945).
FFA has been a part of the educational system for nearly a century, and it’s still going strong. This shows how important it is to have organizations that help kids develop leadership skills and learn about agriculture. The Future Farmers of America is more than just a name change—it’s an evolution!
